Journalists & Media

    Insurance built for journalists working in dangerous places

    Standard travel insurance excludes conflict zones. Our specialist policies are designed for conflict reporters, camera crews, fixers and media professionals who work where standard cover does not apply.

    Standard travel insurance won't cover you in a conflict zone.

    Most policies contain explicit exclusions for war, armed conflict and civil unrest. If you're reporting from a conflict environment, you may have no cover at all — even if you paid for a policy.

    What our cover includes

    Personal accident cover

    Defined benefits for accidental death, permanent disability and temporary total disablement — valid in conflict environments.

    Emergency medical expenses

    Medical treatment costs covered when you're away from home, including in locations under active travel advisories.

    Medical evacuation

    If local medical care isn't adequate, evacuation to appropriate facilities is arranged and covered.

    24/7 emergency assistance

    Direct access to NGS — an operational crisis response team, not a call centre — at any hour.

    War and civil unrest

    Cover that remains valid in the environments that standard policies exclude by design.

    Freelance and staff

    Available to freelance journalists and staff reporters — you don't need an employer policy to get appropriate cover.

    Emergency Assistance
